OTTAWA — OTTAWA - The Bank of Canada raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 2.5 per cent. It’s the first hike since July 2023. The central bank wants to control inflation by reducing the risk that high fuel prices could spill over and seep into the overall economy.


uh…The Bank of Canada sets interest rates, not the PM.
The Prime Minster of Canada is Mark Carney, since 2025. Update your flags.
I’m well aware.
I believe in the freedom and our right to burn flags.
I’m not with the flag shaggers.
Maybe read your comments before posting.
